Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Elizabeth Cook will release her new album, Aftermath, on September 11 via Agent Love Records/Thirty Tigers, where you can pre-order here. The lead single from the upcoming album, “Perfect Girls of Pop,” debuted today. Watch the official music video for the single below:
Aftermath was produced by Butch Walker (Green Day, Weezer, Taylor Swift), and the album is about survival and resilience featuring twelve songs, all written by Elizabeth. Her songs address universal life themes including heartbreak, addiction, death, and more. The album was written after Elizabeth experienced a period of extraordinary loss and pain, and the album is her personal journey through hell and her comeback out of it.
Of the album, Cook reflects,
“This is the first time that I’ve been completely unchained, really. I wasn’t in an oppressive relationship, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of label’s expectation, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of market expectations. And that’s the way I wanna do it, or not at all.”
Recorded at Walker’s Ruby Red Studios in Santa Monica, CA, Aftermath is Cook’s seventh full-length album and features Steve Duerst (bass), Herschel Van Dyke (drums), Aaron Embry (keyboards), Andrew Leahey (guitar) and Whit Wright (pedal steel, dobro). Elizabeth is not only a multi-talented and incredible musician, she also hosts “Upstream with Elizabeth Cook,” a new fishing and interview show on the Opry’s Circle TV network, and has hosted her regular “Elizabeth Cook’s Apron Strings,” show on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel for the past ten years. She is also a cast member of Adult Swim’s animated series, Squidbillies, and has performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 400 times since her debut in 2000. Elizabeth is originally from Florida, is now based in Nashville, and has toured extensively across the world, and collaborated with renowned artists including Buddy Miller, John Prine, Patty Loveless, and Dwight Yoakam.
